Author has written 40 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh. Name: Darkrunner. You can call me DR. Or Doc. Location: Someplace where polarshipping is canon... Anime/Manga(s) I'm on right now: Eureka Seven Manga(s) I'm eagerly waiting the release of: Fullmetal Alchemist 20 Book(s) that aren't manga that I'm on: Dracula Movies I've seen recently: Once; Anastasia; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movies I want to see: 9 Favorite pairings: Non-anime pairing: Jim and Pam from The Office I am also the head (and only) librarian at Darkrunner's Library of Polarshipping. Stories I'm currently working on: REQUEST!FIC for arashi_wolf_pup! I've alluded to a duel between Jou and Mai at Duel Academy in two fics, "Good To See You" and "Memory Lapse". Well, I'm finally going to give it its own fic! Sadly, had to withdraw from season 6 of Computerfreak101's Yugioh Challenge Pairings Fanfiction Contest. Good luck to everyone else, and hope to be back for season 7! "Greatest Fan of Your Life"-- Started off as a one-shot inspired by Edwin McCain's "I'll Be", now a multi-chapter. Three years after Doom, Mai still has nightmares about Malik. Jou finally finds her just before she jumps off the roof of her apartment. COMPLETE. "No Name Face -- Was originally the last 11 or so chapters to "Greatest Fan...", but it felt so much like a separate fic, I just made it a separate fic. Mai didn't kill herself, and now Jou's got to help her cope with the nightmares. Things get more dangerous than either of them would've guessed. In the end, will someone die? Title based on Lifehouse's first album, "No Name Face", which pretty much is the playlist for this fic. Also my favorite Lifehouse album. 11 or 12 chapters, 5 or so of which I have started. Will be posted sometime after "Greatest Fan..." finishes. "You Can't Stop the Beat" -- Collection of one-shots inspired by songs from a music player on shuffle. Ongoing. "The Sky Held to My Skin" -- All the polar stuff from You Can't Stop the Beat. Ongoing. "No Day But Today"--Yugioh in RENT universe. On hiatus... possibly permanently. The thing's just RENT with Yuugiou characters, which is really uncreative of me. I apologize to those readers who were looking forward to more of this. If you watch RENT and imagine Yuugiou characters instead, it'll be the same thing as if you read it. Because I am far too fond on JouMai, I am now accepting request fics! Just note me, and if I like it and have time, I'll write it. This was longer before, but it felt too preachy. Here's the short version. | |||||||||||||
